displaying xml with indents

[chonkme]

Hi, was wondering if there was a way to present an xml string such as

"<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?><hl7:QueryByParameter
xmlns:hl7='urn:hl7-org:v3' ><hl7:statusCode
code='new'/></hl7:QueryByParameter>";

"properly" with indents of say 2 spaces for each child element of the
root element like ..

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>
<hl7:QueryByParameter xmlns:hl7='urn:hl7-org:v3' >
<hl7:statusCode code='new'/>
</hl7:QueryByParameter>

i dont mind if it is transformed into html and looks like that or if
the actual xml string is changed to have spaces in it. any helps
greatly appreciated

Open the file in Emacs with xml-mode or similar and hit C-c C-q on the
root element start-tag.

Or (on most Linux systems): xmllint --format --output foo.xml foo.xml
